How can you see the valve seal that's leaking?

You can't actually SEE the valve seals unless the valve springs are removed or you have superman vision.

Your friend can drive like that all he wants, but he'll ruin his catalytic converter after time, along with his oxygen sensor, and he'll have to add oil frequently.

You can tell if your valve seals are leaking by blue smoke during startup that dissapates after a couple of seconds.
